#because his voice is so naive and sincere and obi-wan very much wants to take him home and show him all the animals he can think of

[obiwanobi]

I'm imagining obi-wan and always a sith Anakin once again in battle and then Anakin sees like a common animal and stops the battle (obi-wan almost takes his leg and obi-wan can't understand why he even hesitated against this enemy). Then he starts taking holos of the animal and obi-wan goes... "It's a squirrel Darth" and Anakin goes something like "master never let me outside before the war!!" But then brushes it aside like "it's so small!" And then obi-wan just needs to lay down for 6 years

yes, yes!! I want Anakin to be mesmerized by the tiniest and most pathetic animal around, I love that he stops to take a holo 😭 Meanwhile Obi-Wan is debating with himself if he should take his chance and restrain him because Vader is crouched down cooing at the small animal, but it doesn't seem.... fair? especially when Vader manages to take a good holo and makes the most childish sound of victory he's ever heard a grown adult makes.

So Obi-Wan crouches down next to him and when Vader asks how its little feet aren't cold instead of stabbing him, his teacher instinct takes over and he goes on about wildlife while Vader listens almost attentively.

That's how Cody finds them ten minutes later and promptly decides to ignore it and turn around because he doesn't know how to even begin with everything wrong in this scene
